A vertically movable support or carrier l5 is mounted on the upright column 2 and carries a f hollow, elongated ram I6 which extends overA and longitudinally, of the base l, the ram I6 l2.' 'Ihe carrier i5 is provided with oppositely disposed, spacedslideways I8 in which outturned guides ornangesl on the vcolumn 3 are re- Y ceived, 'and integral with the -carrierl an ex `tended portion. orVl ,ange' 20I projects into thev column 3 and is provided with an aperture-to receiveaverticarshaft2|, Fig. 3. "A motor 22 ldrivesa shaft 23 vwhich through bevel gears 24` l rotates the vvertical yshaItZl. ySupported on the i carrier flangel, afhevelv gear 25 is` splined or meshes with a bevel gear 21 on one end'cf a horizontal shaft 28 which is journaled for rotation in a. bore in the vertically movable carrier I5. On the other end of the shaft 2|, a bevel gear 30 meshes with a bevel gear 3| on the lower end of a vertical shaft 32 which is parallel with other vertical shafts 33 and 34. On the upper ends of the shafts 32, 33 and 34 a train of meshed gears 35 is provided and on the shaft 34 a pinion gear 36 meshes with a gear rack 3l provided on the ram I6. Operation of the motor 22 will, through the various shafts and gears, move the tool carrying ram I6 longitudinally thereof whereby to position the cutting tool I1 with respect to the work or propeller. This power means for positioning the tool I1 is pro-- vided for positioning the tool only when the tool is to be moved a substantial distance. For slight movements or adjustments of the cutting tool, a. manually operable handle 38 is provided to rotate, the shaft 23. The handle 38 is connected to a link 39 which carries a ratchet 40 cooperable with a gear 4| which is keyed to shaft 23, the position of the ratchet being reversible so as to be able to rotate the shaft 23 in either direction. The handle 38 is mounted on a shaft 42 which extends transversely of the base I and on the shaft 42 a second handle 43 may be provided for convenience so that an operator may employ the handle which is closest to him. In the operation of this machine, the cutting tool I1 makes a cut across a propeller blade or other work along or following a predetermined datum line of irregular or progressively curving surface and then by means of one of the handles the ram is moved to position the tool carried thereby for the next cutting stroke, or to follow the next established datum line.
In the end of the hollow ram I6, adjacent the cutting tool l1, is screwthreaded a tubular open ended bearing member 45, Fig. 6, which rotatably receives a reduced tubular portion 46 of a housing 41, and rotatably mounted in the tubular portion 46, a shaft 48 is provided with a recess opening out of its inner end and adapted to receive a square shank 49 of a drive shaft 50 which extends through and longitudinally of the hollow ram I6. An outer end portion of the shaft 48 projects into the housing 41 wherein a bevel gear I is keyed thereto and meshes with a similar bevel gear 52 which is keyed to the upper end of a shaft 53 having its axis of rotation transverse to the axis of rotation of aligned shafts 46 and 50, the cutting tool I1 being rigidly secured to the lowei` end of the shaft 53. Surrounding the housing 41 and rigidly secured thereto, adjacent the bearing member 45, a gear wheel 55 is rotatable by a manually operable worm gear 56 providing for radial adjustment of the tool relative to the ram. As is clearly shown in Fig. 3a and in Fig. 1'1, the tool I1 is adjusted such that a point on the circular cutting edge thereof is substantially in vertical alignment with the axis of rotation of the hub II or of the rotatable supporting table therefor. Mounted on the ram I6 on the opposite side of the column 3 from the cutting tool I1. an electric motor 51 through switch gears 58 drives or rotates the shaft 50 to drive or rotate the cutting tool I1.
The ram I6 is mounted on the vertically movable carrier I5 for adjustment relative thereto to provide for lowering and/or raising of the tool I1 relative to the work, and to this end the carrier is provided with a bore or circular recess 60, Fig. 2, to receive a circular bearing member 6|, the member 6| being held in adjusted position by screws 62 'screwthreaded into the carrier I5 and extending through slots provided in the bearing member 6I. The bear member 6| is provided with a segmental gear 63 with which a manually operable worm gear 64 meshes and by rotation of which the ram I6 may be pivoted to raise and/or lower the cutting tool I1 with respect to the work or propeller blades.
Preferably, the ram carrier I5 is moved vertically by a vertical screw or threaded shaft 65, Fig. 3, which extends upward within the hollow column 3, the carrier being provided with a boss or integral nut 66 projecting into the hollow column and having a threaded aperture or bore to receive the screw. The lower end of the vertical shaft 65 projects slightly below the top wail of the base I, and secured to the shaft 65 within the hollow base is a bevel gear 6l which meshes with a similar bevel gear 68 secured on a horizontal shaft 10 which extends transversely of the base.
The shaft 10 and therefor the carrier raising and/or lowering screw 65 are operated or driven indirectly by an electric motor lI3 through a speed differential mechanism and a speed change mechanism, respectively designated in general by the numerals 1| and 12. The motor 13 drives a shaft 'I4 secured to which a gear 'I5 meshes with a gear 16, secured to a shaft 11. A shaft 18, one end of which may be coupled to the shaft 'Il by a manually operable clutch 19, is provided and the other end of the shaft 18 is coupled to a stub shaft of the speed differential mechanism li. The shaft 80, Fig. 5, extends into a housing 8| wherein a gear 82 is keyed to the shaft 80 and meshes with a gear 83 keyed on a shaft 84 which is parallel with the shaft 80 and drives the differential li through the speed change mechanism 12.
The differential 1|, Fig. 5, may be of any suitable type and, inthe present instance, includes a drive shaft 85 and a driven shaft 86, the driven shaft 86 being coupled to a stub shaft 81, Fig. l,
keyed to which a gear 88 meshes with an idler gear 88a which in turn meshes with a gear 89 keyed to shaft 10, Fig. 2. Surrounding and ro tatably mounted on the differential shafts 85, 88.
a drum 90 is provided with an external sprocket f 9| for a drive chain 92 which is driven by a sprocket 93, keyed to the speed change mechanism shaft 84. On the differential drive shaft 85 is the usual, so-called sun gear 95 around and in mesh with which is a plurality of planetary gears 96 which also mesh as at 98 with an inl ternal gear 91 provided on the drum 90.
The speed change mechanism 12, like the speed differential mechanism 1i may be of any suitable type and, in the present instance, includes a pair of cones |00 mounted on the shaft 84, driving through a continuous belt I 0|, a pair of cones |02 mounted on the differential drive shaft 85, Fig. l. Each pair of the cones I 00 and |02 is splined on its respective shaft such that the cones of each pair may be slidably adjusted longitudinally of the shafts, toward and/or away from each other to change the speed ratio. A pair of spaced levers |04 may be provided for slidably adjusting the cones of each pair and arranged to pivot such that the cones of one pair will be -moved toward each other` while the cones of the other pair will be moved away from each other. The levers |04 extend longitudinally and on opposite sides of the pairs of cones and may be pivmechanisrn12 is operated bycontrol mechanism,
designated in general by the numeral |01, which is hereinafter describedin detail. The motor 13 also drives or rotates the work support table 9, the shaft 14 having thereon a bevel gear |06 meshing with a bevel gear |09 on a shaft ||0 which drives the worm gear I0 through a train of gears. designated in general by the numeral On the shaft I I0, a gear i|2 meshes with one gear of a gear train ||3 which is arranged to drive or rotate the work table adjustment screw 1 and a manually operable clutch |I4 is provided to disconnect the gear H2 from the gear train H3. The work supporting table 9 is rotated by the motor 13 at a constant rate of speed, whereas, the motor 13 drives shaft 10 which moves the tool carrying ram vertically by rotating vertical screw 65, at varying speeds controlled by the change speed control mechanism |01 in accordance with the contour of the propeller blade along a given datum line.
Referring now to the control mechanism |01, a standard or base ||5 is provided and supports a hollow upright column I I6 which is provided with guideways ||1, Fig. 1, to slidably receive and guide a vertically movable carrier member ||8 which comprises a front section I |9 and a rear section |20. The carrier section is provided with an abutment or pin |2|, Fig. 2, on which the other section or section ||9 is adapted tc seat so that the sections may move vertically together which is the case during the cutting operation of the tool I1. A pair of vertically spaced bosses |22, integral of the rear carrier section |20 projects through a vertically elongated aperture or slot into the hollow column I I6 wherein the bosses are provided with aligning threaded apertures to receive a vertical screw |24 which is operable to move the carrier vertically, The screw |24 is rotated by the motor 13 off ofthe variable speed shaft 10. On the shaft 10 a bevel gear |25 meshes with a similar bevel gear |26 on a shaft |21 on which a relatively small gear |28 meshes with a relatively large gear |29 on a shaft |30 which is located below and extends parallel with shaft |21. On shaft |21, a bevel gear |3| meshes with a bevel gear |32 on the vertical screw |24, adjacent the lower end thereof. Thus it will be seen, that from the variable speed shaft 10, the main tool carrier I5 and the carrier ||8 are moved ver tically in a predetermined synchronized relation. Or in other words there is selected a ratio between the distance that the main carrier moves and the distance that carrier ||6 moves, this ratio being determined by the various gears.
The carrier ||0 is provided to carry, one at a time, cams or templates, one of which is shown at |34, mounted on the carrier for vertical movement therewith. A pair of horizontally spaced bosses |35, |36, integral with the front carrier section |9 have aligning bores to receive and support-a shaft |31 on one end of which the cam |34 is mounted, the cam, Fig, 1, preferably being provided with plates |38, |39, on opposite sides thereof. In the present instance, the cam or cams |34 are provided each with a locating aperture to align with yapertures in the plates |38, |39 and receive a dowel pin |4|. The inner plate |30 is preferably keyed to the shaft |31, as at |42,
and an outer end portion of the shaft |31 may be reduced and threaded to receive a nut |43 for rigidly securing the plates and cam together and to the shaft |31. v
Extending from and integral with the carrier boss |31, an arm |44 carries a worm gear |45 in mesh with a worm wheel |45 which may be keyed or be otherwise secured onto the shaft |31 adjacent the end thereof opposite the end on which the cam |34 is secured. The worm gear |45 is provided on a vertical shaft |46 which extends through an opening in the arm |44, the shaft |46 having longitudinaly splines |41 cooperable with internal splines in the arm opening to permit vertical movement of the shaft and worm gear with the cam or template carrier I8. On the lower end of the shaft |46a bevel gear |41 meshes with a. similar bevel gear |40 on a horizontal shaft |49 on which a second gear |50 meshes with a gear |5| on a shaft |52 which extends parallel with horizontal shaft |49 which is coupled to the table driving shaft |0z1rl by a manually operable clutch |53. Thus, it will be seenthat from motor driven shaft 14, both the work table 9 and the cam or `template. |34 are arranged to be rotated at constant speed, by the motor 13.
Mounted on the base ||5, a reversible electric motor is adapted to drive or rotate a shaft |56 to actuate the speed change mechanism 12, operation of the motor |55 being controlled by switch mechanism designated in general by the numeral |51, see Fig. 12. Keyed or otherwise secured to the shaft |56 for rotation therewith, a bevel gear |58 meshes with and drives a similar bevel gear |60 on a shaft |6| which is connected |04. One end portion of the screw or shaft |63 is provided with a right hand thread for a correspondingly threaded collar |64 to which one end of one of the levers |04 is pivoted and the other end of the screw |63 is provided with a left hand thread for an internally threaded collar |64a to which the other lever end |65 is pivotally connected. Upon rotation of the screw |63 in one direction the speed change device levers |04 are operated whereby to increase the speed of shaft 10 thereby tending to raise the cutting tool I1 and conversely, upon rotation of the screw |63 in the opposite direction the speed change drive is actuated to decrease the speed of shaft 10 to lower the cutting tool |1 with respect to the work.
In order to insure that the screw |63 will stop rotating substantially immediately upon cutting out of the motor |55, a magnetically operated clutch, designated in general by the numeral |66, is provided for coupling and/or uncoupling the motor shaft and shaft |56, the clutch being controlled by the switch mechanism |51. From the magnetic clutch |66, which may be of any of the well known types, lead wires |61 lead to a terminal box |68 at which lead wires |69 from the motor |55 also terminate.
As previously mentioned the carrier ||8 comprises a front section ||9 and a rear section |20 which normally or during operation of the machine move vertically together but are also movable relative to each other.` The front section, Fig. 2, is movable relative to the rear section so that after a cutting stroke of the tool |1, the tool may be raised for return to its starting position. To this end, a cam ||8a may be provided to raise the front carrier section ||9 and may be operated manually by a hand lever IIBb. Itals-` ing of the carrier section ||9 of course raisesA the main cam |34 which as will later more clearly be seen raises the tool I1 a corresponding distance above the work or propeller blade.
The cam |34 is adapted to actuate a follower member |10, preferably a roller which is rotatably mounted on the upper end of a reciprocal link or push rod |1I, the rod I1| being vertically, reciprocally guided in an opening in an extended wall portion |12 of the column ||8. At its lower end, the push rod |1I is pivotally connected to one end of a' link |13 of which the other end is pivoted to a lever |14 adjacent the free end thereof. One end of a helical coil spring |15 is connected to the free end of the lever |14 and the other end of the spring is anchored to the column extension wall |12, the spring being under tension and acting to hold the follower |10 in contact with the cam surface of the cam or template |34.4 The other end of the lever |14 is keyed, as at |16, Fig. 13, to one end of a shaft |11 which is rotatably supported in bearings provided in spaced bosses |18, |19 which are integral with and depend from the column base ||5.
Mounted on the shaft |11 between the bosses |18 and I 19, a pair of spaced bevel gears |80, |8I mesh with a third bevel gear |82 which is suspended from the shaft |11 by a supporting member |83 which is rotatably mounted on the shaft between gears I 80. I8| to permit the gear |83 to pivot about the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The gear I8I is loosely mounted on the shaft |11 and is provided with a reduced portion |85 to the outer end of which is keyed one or the lower end of a lever |86. To the upper end of the lever |86 is pivotally connected, one end of a link or arm |81, the other end of which arm is pivotally connected to a follower |88 in the form of a block having therethrough a threaded bore to receive the threaded portion |90 of the shaft |56 which is driven or rotated by the electric motor |55. When the shaft |56 is not being rotated, it will be seen that the bevel gear I8I will be locked against rotation.
The intermediate gear |82 is freely rotatable on a pin I 92, the upper end of which is connected to the supporting member |83, the pin |92 having an upwardly facing shoulder I 93 on which the gear |82 seats. At its lower end, the pin |92 is bifurcated to receive one end of a link |95 which is pivoted to the pin |92 by a pivot pin |96. The other end of the link |95 is pivotally connected to a rod |91 which is mounted for endwise sliding movement in bores provided in spaced uprights |98 which are integral with a base I 99. Mounted on the base |99 is a pair of spaced controls or switches 200 and which are biased to normally open the circuits of the motor |55 and the magnetically operated clutch |66. These switches 200, 20| may be of any well known suitable type and in the present illustration have upwardly directed opening stems 202 and 203 respectively. Mounted on and secured to the slidable or reciprocal rod |91 is a pair of spaced, conical-shaped actuators 204, 205 adapted to respectively aotuate the switches 200 and 20|, The switches 200 and 20| are respectively connected by lead wires 206 and 201 to the terminal box |68 to which main lead Wires 203 connect.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 14, there is shown in part one of the propeller blades to be cut and shaped to substantially the desired final shape. The number of necessary outs to be made by the tool I1 is determined and these cuts are represented in Fig. 14 by the radially spaced dot and dash lines 2I0 which are arcs of circles having a common center which is the center of the propeller hub II or center of rotation of the supporting table 9. For each of the cuts taken across the blade, represented by the dot and dash lines 2|0 a separate cam is designed. one of which is shown and described and is designated by the numeral |34, as previously mentioned. To develop the cam I 34, a predetermined number of lines 2I| equally and radially spaced with respect to the center of the hub II as shown in Fig. 14 and a like number of radial and corresponding lines 2I|a, as shown in Fig. 16 are drawn to develop the cam. Fig- 16 is developed in accordance with the datum or line A, B and in Fig. 15 is shown the corresponding desired established blade curvature along the line A, B. With some convenient base line such as the line X-X, Fig. 15, which corresponds to the dot and dash circle of Fig. 16, it will be seen that the points to I0 on opposite sides of the zero point may be transferred to the cam development of Fig. 16 to determine the proper curvature of the cam surface. Line Y-Y represents the low point of the cam orl starting position of the cutting tool I1. The points along the curvature of the blade or line A, B, Fig. 15, have been numbered from the intermediate zero point because approaching 4the zero point, the rate of rise of the tool I1 increases while beyond the zero point the rate of rise of the tool I1 decreases. In Figs. 8, 9, 10, and all are shown sections of the blade I2 taken along different lines from the center of the blade hub II, and for each section, a separate cam is developed.
Operation The various devices, of course, have related or corresponding starting positions to which they are returned after a cut has been taken or in which they are set at the start of a cutting operation. For example, the table is rotated to position one of the blades in an established or predetermined position which may be conveniently found or determined by the use of any suitable scale or indicator. Also, the cam |34 is rotated to a position corresponding to the position of the support or table 9 with the follower on the low point of the cam as shown in Fig. 16. With the parts and devices in their properly related starting positions, the main drive motor 13 is started and as previously mentioned, the motor 13` rotates the work supporting table 9 at a constant rate of speed through driving connections including shafts 14, IIO and I0a. Also, the motor 13 drives or rotates shaft 10 to raise the carrier ram I6 to raise the cutting tool I1, shaft 10 being driven through the speed change mechanism 12 and the speed diiferential mechanism 1| at a variable speed corresponding to the established curvature of a datum or cut line. In addition, the motor 13 through its driving of shaft |21 raises the cam carrier IIB which moves vertically in a definite ratio or re*- lation to movement of the main carrier I5 to the tool I1 carried thereby. The electric motor |55 under the control of the switch mechanism |51 rotates shaft |56 to actuate the speed change mechanism operating arms |04, the switch mechanism |51 being actuated by the cam |34 and also by the electric motor I 55. Thus, on starting of motors 13 and |55 and the tool drive motor 51, the work or propeller support rotates at constant speed toward and against the rotating tool, the tool being raised as the work sup- The cam |34 ofport rotates. The cam |34 is provided with a dwell from which the cam has a sudden rise to lift the tool |1 up to the starting point of the cutting operation, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16.V
Assume that the reversible control motor |55, Fig. 12, is stopped. Under this condition, the worm traveler |88 locks gear 8| against movement with the result that as the cam |34 rotates and depresses thecam follower |10, lever |14 is pivoted downwardly which rolls gear |82 in a direction such that the switch rod |91 is moved in a direction to close switch 20|. Closing of switch 20| energizes and starts the motor |55 and also energizes the magnetically operated clutch |66 which then acts to couple the motor shaft to the shaft |58. Rotation of the shaft |50 in one direction imparts rotation to transverse shaft IBI, actuating the operating levers |04 of the speed change mechanism 12 to increase the rate of rise of the cutting tool |1 with corresponding increase in rate of rise of the cam |34. Operation of the motor |55, rotatingl screw |90 causes the traveler |88 to move and through lever |86, rotates gear |8| which causes gear |82 to move bodily in a direction to shift or return the switch rod |91 to permit switch 20| to open. Thus, it will be seen that as the cam |34 rotates, it also rises bodily and when the rate of the cam rise is such that the cam will depress the follower |10 and close switch 20|, the motor |55 will be started to increase the rate of rise of the cam which will correspondingly decrease the rate of rise of the cutting tool I1. As soon as the motor |55 starts to operate, the speed change mechanism is adjusted by levers |04 to increase the speed and also, the lever |85 is actuated to open switch 20| and stop the motor |55. The motor |55 will only be stopped for a short time interval during which the cam |34 will rise at a constant rate and during which the cutting tool |1 will cut along a line tangent to the curvature of the datum line. When the motor is again started, the rate of rise of the cam and tool is again changed. Traversing the blade, the cutting tool |1 will make a series of cuts along lines tangent` to the curvature of the datum line, the cuts being so close together that the surface will be a substantially smooth curve. It will be seen that every time the motor |55 is started, the rate of rise of the cam and tool is changed whereby the desired progressively curving surface is cut and shaped.
The switch 200 only comes into function when the curve is one in which the variable rate of change is increasing instead of decreasing. For example, switch 200 would be in control if the tool started from point B, Fig. 15, and worked downard for under this condition it will be seen that the variable rate of change is increasing from B to A. After the blade has been cut along one datum line, the machine is reversed and another cam, corresponding to the next datum line along which the blade is to be cut, is mounted on the machine. Thus, by taking a series of cuts across the blade the excess material is removed and the blade is shaped to substantially its nal form.
